The Legislature at its last session passed two laws which everybody Rhould know. One is, that when a planter gives a merchant or cotton factor n lien on any property or for supplies to make his crop, that if said property or crop is sold and not applied to the payment of said debt, such guilty party is liable to be put in jail for one year. The other law is to the effect that 10 per cent, interest is collectable by law when inserted in note. Also it has been decided by the Supe rior Courts that verbal liens are as good ns written liens when the facts can l>c proven. June 7-4m. Editor's Jumble. Weather very hot all the week. Gen. Hancock opposes the nomi nation of Greeley. The caterpillars nre ruining the rite crop of Georgia and Carolina. Judge Parrott of Cartersville is dead. Hendricks has been nominated for Governor of Indiana. Work has begun on the Madison end of the Griffin, Madison and Monticel- lo Railroad. Pr. Huston has been acquitted of tJtc grave charges against him, of hein ous personal immorality. Pr. Wm. Jones, of Switzerland, contemplates purchasing 100,000 acres ofland in Minnesota for a colony. The Pemocratie conventions of Kansas and Iowa indicate an overwhelm ing sentiment for the Cincinnati platform and nominees. The most prominent features of the Philadelphia Convention werethose M a negro delegate from Mississippi, who was seven feet high. Among the recent arrivals at the Pulaski House is the Countess de Welde- grave. of London, who is traveling through the South on a pleasure tour for the first time. The laborers’ strike is growing daily in New York. It is sweeping in all classes of labor. At least 40,000 men are now engaged in it. W. P. Siler, who was on trial for over a week in Atlanta, under the charge of aiding Fry to break jail, has been acquitted. The trial attracted great attention. The New York World savs that Greely has drawn no proraiuent Republi can leader or journal, except those that went for the Cincinnati movement. Mr. Joseph M. Haywood, pro- ?tor of the Pnlnski House Palace Bar ber Shop, ot Savannah, died June 10th instant. The Philadelphia Convention, after nominating Grant, sung “ Old John Hrown'a soul marching on.” It was mean in them to appropriate Greeley's favorite melody in that way.

Turner, Chief Engineer of the North- Eastern road, has completed the location of the upper portion of the lino, and in forms us that he has shortened the dis tance to the Air Line nbout a mile and a half over the previous surveys. He has also greatly cheapened the cost, on the line adopted, over previous estimates. He is now locating the line from near Newton's Bridge to Town, nnd in a few days will be ready to advertise for con tracts. Badly Corned.—A female resi dent of the Eastern slope of Trail creek, in the suburbs ot Athens, was zigzagging along River street the other day under an overload of merchandize—solid and fluid—when a good Samaritan offered to carry her goods for her. “Thank you, (hie) Mister, said the grateful dame-1 could carry—hie—every ting I’ve got, if it was'nt lor the corns—hie—on my toes. They hurt so bad, it fairly makes my —hie—bead swim.” Relieved of some ot her surplus cargo, she tripped up the hill after the order of a Virginia worm fence. After a short nap her corns were better.

Palmer, of Cleveland, White couuty, who recently wrote a scathing exposure of the villainy ol certain citi zens of that region, who in connection with the United States authorities arrest ed innocent persons and dragged them to Atlanta—was shot and instnntly killed in Towns county the other day by sonic party unknown.

Brown & Schaffer, agents for Wheeler & Wilson's popular Sewing Machine. They are also agents tor Madam Dem- orest’s Fashion Patterns—in which the ladies are of course all interested. The agents have fitted up a handsome otfice on the Avenue, where ladies will be po litely waited on. Look at Dat Dolly Varden.— Last Sunday a little girl up town noticed a young miss of a gingerbread complex ion. going to church gorgeously arrayed in a swelling amplitude ol calico, and called all the family to “run here and sec dat big Dolly Varden.” After church, the same damsel of oriental hue was hur rying home in the rain, her wet dress clinging to her person, nnd revealing a limpid pau. i y of under gear. The little observer at once took in the situation, and sung out—“ jes look at dat Dolly Varden naif.” Such is life. A little starch and a good deal of assurance will glow like the butterfly in the glare of sunshine, but collapse like a sucked orange under the pressure of adversity. Shall we have Free Schools. —A large and earnest meeting was held at Stone Mountain last week, to consult in reference to the establishment of grad ed free schools in that place. Mr. Mai- Ion, Superintendent of the Atlanta Free Schools, addressed the meeting, and as sured them that it was entirely practica ble, and most desirable, every way, to establish free schools in plnccs as large as Stone Mountain. A committee was appointed to take steps to organize. Cannot a movement be in- augtirated in Athens in behalf ot a great educational enterprise in which every good citizen is interested ? Have we not as much public spirit, liberality, and de votion to education, as the village of Stone Mountain ? Has the State Uni versity been diffusing its influence among us for half a century, and yet wc are so indificrcnt to the interests of the great mass, who cannot incur the present cost of educational previleges here ? our agriculturist and manufacturing in- j MEMORIAL AUDKBSsT terests move forward, and one or tw..

Taking the morning passenger train, they went down the. railroad about fifteen miles, where in'the grand old woods they spent the day in marooning diversions, finding time to do full justice to a bountiful basket-dinner, to which the residents of the vicinity made large contributions. Prof. F. A. Lipscomb nnd Mr. A. A. Murpiicy delivered short addresses—some of the boys showed what they knew about oratory—the woods rang with the cadences of line vocal music—and every thing was lovely. We learn that there were taken up and brought home fifteen large baskets—largely more than the Pentecostal “ fragments ”—of delicacies and substantials, which were distributed to various families connected with the two schools. Crockery and Glass ware.— The largest stock of crockery, glass-ware, lamps and kerosene oil, in Athens. For sale by J. H. HUGGINS & Co. A Cat-egorical Prayer.—A little four-year old of our acquaintance was severely scratched while playing with a pet kitten not long ogo j where upon he seized puss by the hind legs, »nd I Hint her bruins out over the stairs. His mother remonstrated with him, and after getting him in a penitential frame of mind, induced him to say he was sorry for his conduct, and to ask God to for give him. Alter a very reverent plea for pardon, the little sinner added— “ But please dod dont send any more tats to Strach your wicked boy, for he will lie sure to get mad and knock their d—d brains out.” The grieved mother had to begin de noto to erase from the plastic mind ot her little darling the effect of “evil earn- munkutions.” Two years ago the town papers pub lished a statement of the remarkable number and extent of shoals in this coun ty, many of which are lying idle for want of capital to bring them into use. We have recently had a number of in quiries concerning this subject, and have therefore compiled the following, which is more full and accurate than the former publication: Athens Factory—located in Town, on Oconee River, has 200 horse power, and has in operation a cotton and wool fac tory, and a Merchant Flour Mill. Athens Check Factory (tormcrly Cook's Armory)—located in Town, on Trail Creek, has 75 horse power. Princeton Factory—two and a half miles from Town, on Middle River, has 300 horse power—100 in use. Georgia factory—four miles from Town, on Oconee River, has 300 horse power. Barnett's Shoals—eight miles from Town, on Oconee River, has 2,500 horse power, and has great matural advan tages for being easily utilized. Is one ot the finest shoals in the whole country. Fowler’s Shoals—Middle—Oconee— eight miles from Town—has 300 horse power. Russell's Shoals, on Barber's Creek, four wiles from Town, has about 150 horse power. A dam lias been construct ed, and the owner is anxious to form a company to build a mill. Epp's Shoals, on Middle River, two miles from Town, has about 100 horse power. Burnt Factory, on Barber’s Creek, eight miles from Town, has 75 horse power. Simonton’8 Shoals, on Middle River, three miles from Town, has 100 horse power. Pioneer Paper Mill, on Barber's Creek, four miles fromTown, has 75 horse power, nnd has in successful operation the largest and best paper mill in the South, with a capital of about $80,000. Mitchell's Mill, four miles from Town, lias 200 horse power. Thomas Epps Shoals, on McNatt's Creek, has 20 horse power. Patman's Shoals, on Middle River, three miles from Town, has 300 horse power. Smith’s Shoals, on Middle River, has 200 horse power. Bobbin Factory two miles from Town, on Phinizy’s Creek,—doing a good busi ness—has 15 horse power. The following grist or saw mills, have from 15 to 20 horse power, and are all doing well: Pattman & Lester, five miles from Town;’Jefferson Jennings Mill, six miles from Town; Durham’s, six miles from town; Barrett’s, four miles from Town ; Sayes’ Mill, four miles from Town; LavenderVMill, five miles from Town. It will be seen that these shoals are within a radius of eight miles around Athens, on several different streams. While Columbus, the Augusta canal, and perhaps other localities in the State, af ford a larger power than any of these, it it believed that no region in the State, or in the whole country affords equal fa cilities for developing a wide range of manufacuring interests. These shoals are all located in suluhrious districts, free from malarious influences, and surround ed by a good farming county, producing not only the best upland cotton, but all the lood crops of the temperate Zone. Timber and labor are abundant and chcnp. These shoals therefore afford admirable sites for manufacturing vill ages, such as diffuse thrift through the New England States, and are much more desirable to any country than overgrown manufacturing cities. Who can estimate the advantages to all the interests of the county, that would result from the es tablishment of a single cotton factory on each of the unoccupied shoals above enumerated. With even a single cotton factory in these several districts would come a demand for all the staples of the farm, and the inducement to diversity crops. As villages clustered around the Cotton mills, and the idle lands were cut up into small, well-tilled farms, there would come a demand for other manu factories; and thus, band in hand, would if we but learn to save what we mqKe, and pntonr surplus, into industrial enter prises. The cotton spinners of the North and of Europe will very soon be induced to unite their capital with ours, if we but put our shoulders to the wheel. There is money enough lying idle on deposit, belonging to our own citizens, to build two or three good factories* Why not form companies, raise all the stcck possible here, and invite experts from abroad to come down and htln carry them forward ? If we sit here at our ease, bragging about our splendid shoals, our delightful cl mate, our refined society, our beautiful women, we cannot shnke off a consciousness that with all these, we arc poor, and depend ant, wasting our earnings year by year on the productions of industry foreign to our soil. Let us get out of this beggarly condition. Condition of CiSVrk County. —From the admirable report of Control ler General Bell, we compile the follow ing tacts in reference to the condition of Clark county. In 1870 the number of acres of land returned for taxation was 280,020; in 1871 it was 292,277. In 1870 the aggregate valne of land was $687,072; in 1871 it was $993,045. In 1870 the average value of land in the county was $2.40 per acre; in 1871 it was $3.40. » In 1871 the number of acres of improved land in the county was 178,601; value, $958,221, or $5.36 per acre. In 1871 the number of acres of wild land was 113.616 acres; value, $35,424, or 31 cents per acre. In 1870 the value of Town property in the county was $S98,170; in 1871 it was $1,007,660. 1870 the amount ot money and solvent debts returned for taxation in the county was $765,450; in 1871 it was $731,708, a a decrease o! $33,748 In 1870 the value of merchandize re turned in ,the county was $243,015, in 1871 it was $253,625. Iu 1870 the househouhl and kitchen furniture was valued at $48,175, in 1871, at $46,705. In 1870, the number ot hands employ ed between 12 and 65 years was 1,594 in i871 it was 1,892.

In 1871 the number of professions in the county was 23; of dentists 2, of auc tioneers, 1, daguerrean artists I, billard tables 6, blind persons 1. This exhibit, while it is not as progres sives as could be desired, shows a healthy condition, and may well encourage us to renewed efforts to improve the record of the future. The report makes a startling record of the extravagance and corruption of the last year of Radical rule in Georgia. itra—whether they fought under the their record, we eonfideatly commit to Alumni Address.—Rev. J. Des Witt Burkhcad, Pastor of the Presby terian Church in this place, has been se lected to deliver the annual address be fore the Alumni Society of Davidson College, North Carolina. Married.—We find the follow- in the Gardiner, Maine, Home Journal: In this city, by Rev. A. L. Park, Mr. A. R. Simmons, of Augusta, nnd Miss Nellie E., daughter of Hon. N. O. Mitch ell, of this city. The friends of Mr. Simmons in Athens will heartily unite with us in wishing him and his bride a long and happy life. How Agricultural Papers Pay. We quote from the “ Carolina Far- mei■” this edifying story of what a far- seeing husbandman, in one of the back neighborhoods of Eastern New York did, some twenty years since, to en hance the value of his property by ele vating the standard of Agriculture among the farmers around him, no one of whom took a weekly newspaper or an Agricultural periodical: “ He subscribed for twenty copies,' and had them mailed to as many of his townsmen, selecting those in whom he had most hope. He wrote to all, telling what ho had done, and saying that he would receive nothing for the paper the first year, at the end of which, if they did not consider it worth the club price, they could stop it, and inform him of their decision. Some of the farmers were so prejudiced that they would not read them, but their children did and told the parents what they had found, and finally, all be came interested, and every one sub scribed, or got their sagacious neigh her to do so for them, the next year. From the time the journals began to be read, improvements in the general form practice commenced. Improved implements were obtained, draining, and turning in of green crops was in troduced, one brought a new breed of fowls, and another a mowing machine, and so on; by degrees there was a general improvement in the system of farming, and a corresponding increase in the market valne of the land in the neighborhood, and this liberal neigh bor sold his farm and went West; and he told the writer that be was satisfied that the twenty papers, donated five years before he sold his form, enahled him to realize folly $2,000 more for it than he would have done, had he not given impetus to farm improve ment in the neighborhood by inducing the formers to read. The principles for which these men toiled, and marched, and suffered, and fought, and died, were principles which our fathers before us had held and insisted on before, and during, and since the formation of this govern ment. They were principles in which we had been trained and educated from our youth up. They had gi with our growth, and strengthened with our strength. Surely never were principles more conscientiously enter tained, as certainly none were ever more heroically defended. That we did not command success does not prove that we did not deserve it. The sword never did and never will settle a >le, and practical results may not always be right results. The cause may have foiled, the banner may be furled and laid away; the brave men who upheld that cause and carried that banner may sleep in the dust, but the principle will live for ever. “ This shall resist the empire of deemr When time U o*er and worlds have past away ; Cold in the dust the perished hearts may lie. But that which warmed them once can never die.** These men were not hired mercen aries, with no interest in the struggle, no appreciation of its merits, and no incitement to service but plunder and pay. They were our fathers, our hus bands, our brothers, our sons, our friends. They were men whose hearts glowed and burned with love for liber ty and love for their country—they were free men, who counted nothing too dear—not even life itself, to give in freedom’s cause—all were true men —leaders and followers—struggling for what they believed to be the right. Perhaps in no other contest in the world’s history was there felt on the part of every man a stronger, more personal and direct interest in the re sult of the struggle, than in this. The humblest private in the brave armies of the South felt that the cause was his own. To this feeling that ran through all our ranks and inspired every man, are to be attributed those deeds of courage and heroism and ter rible valor that will go sounding down through ages—that shed a renown that is world-wide and imperishable upon our arms that covered our ban ner with a halo ot light, even when it trailed in the dust, and enshrouded our cause iu glory forever, even when it sank in disaster and defeat. The glowing tribute of our lament ed Elliott to the private soldiers of the South was both eloquent and true. Our victories,” said he, “ are the vic tories of privates. It is the enthusias tic dash of the onset—the fearless bravery with which they rush even to the cannon’s mouth—the utter reck lessness of life, if so be that its sacri fice may only lead to victory—the heart-felt impression that the cause is the cause of every man, and that suc cess is a necessity. He can have no other motive than the cause, he knows that his valor must pass unnoticed save in the narrow circle of his com- any; that his sacrifice can bring no onor to his name, no reputation to his family, that if he survives he lives only to enter upon new dangers with the same hopelessness of distinction— that he will receive nothing but an un marked grave, and yet he is proud to do his duty and maintain his part in the destructive conflict His com rades fall around him thick and fost, but with a sigh aud a tear he closes his ranks and passes on to his destiny.” I would that the time and occasion allowed me to pay a tribute to each honored name upon this roll of fame, but there is one of whom I must be permitted to speak—my leader and commander in the terrific contest in which he laid down his life. I bear my personal testimony to the fact that he fell with his harness on, and with his face to the foe. A devout Chris tian—an ardent patriot—a -learned jurist—an . eloquent advocate—great and good everywhere—in the hplls of peace, and on the field of war—he died as he lived, “ a being honorable to the earth from which he sprang and worthy of the Heaven to which he aspired.” And no nobler son was ever laid on the bosom of hi3 mother earth, and no purer, manlier spirit ever winged its flight to the courts above, than that of Thomas R. R. Cobb. I pause a moment to say something of another of whom this town was so justly proud—the gallant and gifted Delony—a very Chevalier Bayard ; a man without fear and without re butter of Los ot Jftieeeu whether they fell beside the Potomac or the Mississippi, or. in the country, of those who were then our enemies- -th y are all dear to at alike, aad no ddbet, ao misfortune, no tyrant, no President, Congress, no fanatical party, no mad majority—no time, nothing, can ever dim the lustre of their Mnm or rob us of the rich and cherished mem ories they have left behind them. In honoring the memories of these men we honor ourselves. There can be nothing wrong in remembering with pride and affection, those who have done ao much for us, and so tn uch for our country. The sentiment of gratitude is heaven born, and im poses no obligations inconsistent with the high duties wo oww the State aad society as patriots and citizens. The people of the South are not sit ting down in silent and sullen despair. thore who are la emus after as and to; History.

They have been true to their past history—true to their “ ancestors of high renown nnd hal lowed worth”—true to the lofty prin ciples of freedom and honor that they imbibed at their mother’s breasts, and true to the memories of their dead heroes.

In, the morning of his exist ence and in the opening of his useful ness he took his young life a willing sacrifice, and laid it upon the altar of his couutry. In his brilliant achieve ments in the field he nobly illustrated this town and this State, and in his life and death he revived the antique chivalry and heroism of the past: .•Thy Independence, let me share, Lord of the llon-kesrl and Eagle ore ; Thy step* I follow with my fensom bare. Nor heed the storm that howl* along iho sky.** And there are Barrow, and Grady, and Cook, and Newton, and Hays, and Vincent, and Hunter, and Hill, and Dunnahoo, and Camak, also, whom I saw as his sword flashed for Ibe last time in the clear sunlight—men who would have tloue houor to any age or country; who will say that it is not better with them ? “ There is no baudage u, the tomb, in the soul’s world there are no chains.” Athens to-day, weeps over all her fallen sous—some of them poured out their lives in red libations on Adds that their valor and prowess have rend ered historic forever. Others of them sank beneath the load of privation fatigue and disease, and perished in the camp, on the march or in the gloomy Hospital, while others taken le of the South— great aud noble in the time of prosper ity and victory—but grander and nobler for in the hour of adversity and in the day of defeat. The rich rewards of this courage and fortitude lie iu the near and open, : future. We will not despair, t is not long till morning.” We have every thing to inspire and en courage us ; we have sons as heroic and as true as those who sleep beneath the sod. We have women as pure and as brave as ever ennobled our exalted humanity. We have examples in our past history as bright as ever shone in the annals of this world. We have a dear country, rich in every gift and bestowment of nature ; rich in glori ous memories, rich and smiling even in the very ashes of the brave that rest in its bosom ; tor there is truth in the daring imagery of Shelley :— “ Still alive nnd still bold, shouted Knrth— I grow bolder and still more bold; The dead fill me ten thousand fold Fuller of speed and splendor aud mirth. ** + **4# + o + I was cloudy and sullen and cold, Like a frozen u hit os up rolled, Till by the spirit of the mighty dead My heart grew warm.’* Ladies of the Monorial Association:— I should do injustice to the feelings of the people of Athens did I not thank you for your noble and untiring efforts. To this town, through these efforts, belongs the high honor of having erected the first monument in Geor gia to our Confederate dead. I know the many difficulties with which you have to contend, and how bravely you have met them. For years you have labored untiringly to accomplish this object When others lost interest in the movement with a zeal that never wearied, with on enthusiasm that never abated, with an energy that knew no such word os foil, von pressed steadily onward to the completion of your labor of love. This marble pillar, while it reminds us of the gratitude we owe to those whose names are recorded here, will also remind us of the gratitude we owe to you. While it speaks to those who are to come after us, of the valor and sacrifice of these departed patriots, it will also speak of your devotion to your country, and your love for its cause. The South is as proud of her noble daughters as she is of her living or dead sons ; and the sacrifice, the suffering and patriotism of the wo men of the South, are fresh in the recollection of all. Without a mur mur they gave up those who were nearest and dearest to them. — They cheered and sustained the spirit of our people. In the gloomy hour of defeat, when men’s hearts grew sick and faint, and began to despair, they reanimated their courage and kindled anew the fires of their patriot ism. They crowded to our hospitals on their missious of mercy. They ministered to every want; with feath ery footfall, nnd tones as mild and gentle as the accents of an angel's voice, they hung round the couches of suffering and death. They wiped the death dew from the brows of our bleed ing, fainting heroes, and caught aud transmitted home to the loved ones there, the last fond words of affection tiiat trembled on the dying lips.of our brave defenders. The pages of history that transmit to posterity the record of our great struggle, will borrow a softer lustre, a gentler, milder, and more heavenly ra diance, from the story of the patriot ism and sacrifices of the women of the South, who suffered and were strong, and many of whom died and mode no sign. You are about to decorate the sol dier’s graves—to scatter flowers over the last resting places of those who sleep here. It is a custom wor thy to be perpetuated, and one that will be perpetuated. There is beauty, there is poetry, there is touching pa thos in this annual tribute from the beautiful to the brave—from the living to the dead. And now my friends, I have little more to add.
